Here's a couple of shots that I got earlier in the summer while out flying my powered parachute.

Man....I gotta say, your ride looks a little......precarious​.

Cool pictures though. Picture one looks like you might be in some air space that you maybe shouldn't be......? Seems awfully close to the landing area. That and having a plane flying directly at you...:eek:


Remember what the DorMouse said.....feed your head.

Not precarious at all! Safe and fun way to fly. I have quite a few in-flight videos on my YouTube channel: (external link). The telephoto shot makes it look a lot closer than I am. I was about 2 miles from the end of the runway and was very low (about 400').
